Clay County Deputies arrested a man in Moorhead following a car chase early this morning. Officials say 21-year-old Thomas Ransi was pulled over by a deputy just before 1 o'clock on south highway 52. Sheriff Bill Bergquist spoke on 970 WDAY radio about the incident.

“He got on the interstate the wrong way, so at that point the deputy backed off and discontinued the pursuit because of the dangers of him going the wrong way on the interstate, but the deputy was on the interstate and observed the vehicle that actually crashed in the ditch and the driver got out and ran and he was apprehended a short time late,” said Clay County Sheriff Bill Bergquist.

Ransi is facing a number of charges including felony fleeing, possession of a firearm and driving without a license.

Fargo Police are working with the North Dakota BCI and West Acres management to address issues with their response after a high speed chase ending at the mall. The three groups say their main concern is a need for better communication. Police say 33-year-old Kendall Feist of Bismarck led local law enforcement all over Fargo- Moorhead, ending up inside West Acres. Three BCI agents, dressed in plain clothes, followed him through the mall, at times with their guns drawn, creating extra anxiety for everyone there - many who had no clue what was going on.

"The biggest concern I have, and it's something that, well it really was the focal point of our conversation this morning, was under the circumstances as they were presented, having non uniformed law enforcement officers going into the mall with their weapons at the ready," said Fargo Police Chief Keith Ternes.

Ternes says because everything happened so quickly, communication between police, the BCI, and mall management was difficult.
